Kochi Premium Hemp Washi Art Paper

Kochi Paper is used in various fields such as shrines, temples, auditoriums, dedication paintings, and traditional Japanese paintings. Comes in a wide variety of dimensions and thicknesses (standards) depending on preference and use.

The main ingredients in this premium paper are potato hemp and mulberry. It is a tough and easy-to-draw-upon paper that goes well with natural mineral pigments (iwaenogu) and is suitable for recoating. The fibers of the potato hemp are unique in that the fibers have a peculiar “waviness”, and the overlapping fibers have gaps, which makes the paper look like felt. It uses a strong fiber mulberry to fill the gap, which requires great amount of experience and skill.
